I have a problem on one of my servers. The 'ls' command does not have the -h switch available. So as a workaround until I can determine what caused this and why I wanted to use the 'ls' file from another server. I copied /bin/ls from server # 2 onto server # 1 and tested it and it works fine, including the -h switch.
So I typed set, read the PATH and found that /usr/local/bin is in the path before /usr/bin. I thought I could simply drop the new ls in /usr/local/bin and the system would see it first when called and use it. WRONG. So my questions are: 1. why not? 2. what is the order used in the path? Thanks Tony
